An esthetician (or aesthetician) performs a variety of treatments for clients, ranging from straightforward beauty treatments, such as applying make-up, to quasi-medical skincare and other remedies and treatments. Many estheticians also administer aromatherapy, as well as manicures and pedicures, but the primary focus is on dermatology, that is, skincare. In addition, most estheticians carry out some clerical tasks, such as making appointments and so forth.

Licensed estheticians have the advantage of being able to prove that they have undertaken basic training and are thus able to competently deal with all the most common procedures that are expected of an esthetician, as well as some of the more complex or unusual treatments that may sometimes arise. Training will also include learning how to properly clean, care for and maintain equipment and treatment rooms. A licensed esthetician is thus able to take on a huge variety of tasks, increasing their employability and helping them to win over clients and perform their job to a high standard.

Working as a licensed esthetician is a great way to combine an interest in beauty and healthcare with a new set of skills. You'll need to be a people person with excellent communication skills so that you can reassure patients and keep them relaxed, and also provide them with up to date medical and beauty advice. You'll often be working in a clinic as part of a team with several other people providing various kinds of treatments, so you'll need to be a team player, too. Many estheticians are self-employed, so being self-motivated and able to attract clients is also a valuable skill.
